Which budget headphone amp for 80 ohm headphones?

Post by ztusek »

Hi, headphone volume is very low on 80 ohm headphones (Beyer DT770 PRO) on my Piano 5. Which budget headphones amp do you recommend?
Tnx.

I've used a Topping L30 II connected to the line outputs. It is very high quality and will drive any headphones very loud. And it comes in red colour.

You can buy from Amazon. Although it may be beyond your definition of 'budget' at £150.

I found that a small mixer with built in USB audio interface not only provides the most powerful headphones out, but also provides the missing interface in the nords. And you could blend in another keyboard/synth:

It helped me to use several headphones with different volumes while watching TV

For rehearsals, I use a Behringer Powerplay P2. It needs batteries.
